What made you believe this? That we're where they said we are instead of it being a dream?

( Or worse, though Claire's ideas of worse would probably not match up to anyone else's. That said Claire can't say that she really took in too much of what was being said to her, so she does need the confirmation )

What did you do? Or want to do?

( Because she doesn't know, not yet. There was considering going out from the Dollhouse and trying to find something but to end up in another world entirely? She doesn't know where to begin )

The Ingress technology that brought you in has been malfunctioning and no one seems to know how to stop it.

When we were on the ship, we all had to work toward keeping it running until we reached our destination. Which, I guess, is this place.

[polyphobic]

So we're just supposed to sit and wait until they figure this out, while all the time more people will come here?

[soldiergenes]

That's about the size of it.

[polyphobic]

That isn't right. Any of it.

[soldiergenes]

Yeah, you're preaching to the choir there.

[polyphobic]

Do they just expect that everyone will sit and wait? Cooperate?

[soldiergenes]

That's the size of it.

[polyphobic]

What if someone didn't? If there's enough people here not everyone would be likely to just sit and wait.

[soldiergenes]

What's your plan, then?

[polyphobic]

I don't have one.
I'm just asking what they do.

[soldiergenes]

People have decided to head out on their own before and take their chances. No idea what happened to them, though.

[ Which is a bad sign, he's guessing. ]

Are you experienced in space travel?

[polyphobic]

No. Space travel isn't a common occurrence.

[soldiergenes]

It is for some. The Ingress can take people from different times and different universes.

[polyphobic]

So some people would be familiar with all of this?
Are you?

[soldiergenes]

No, not before I got here. It was an adjustment. You'll get there.

[polyphobic]

How can you be so sure?

[soldiergenes]

Because there's no other choice.

[polyphobic]

Not any good ones.

[soldiergenes]

After a while the unpredictability becomes predictable. Although things are a lot more stable for us now than they were when we were on the Moira.

[polyphobic]

What makes them more stable?

[soldiergenes]

No chance that we're going to crash, for one thing. And we're not moving around all the time.

Not sure about that storm, though.

[polyphobic]

You're still somewhere unfamiliar. You don't really know what it will be like.

[soldiergenes]

No arguments there.

They don't hand-hold you too much here. You'll need to find a job and a place to stay.

[polyphobic]

Is it simple to do?
I know the general idea of how to do it but something could be different here.

[soldiergenes]

It's pretty much the same as what you're used to. Just look for places that are hiring.
